Free summer activities for the whole family

Enjoy summer with free family activities in the Botanical Garden's Greenhouse.

This summer, step into the heart of the Botanical Garden’s living plant collections and meet our hosts in the beautiful Public Engagement Greenhouse and surrounding outdoor pavilions. Spend a summer day with fun, creative botanical workshops in green surroundings:

  • Make your own newspaper plant pots and plant cuttings or sow seeds. Take your finished pot home with care instructions and grow your plant on a windowsill, balcony or in the garden.
     
  • Create your very own herbarium sheet by pressing a beautiful plant onto card and having it pre-printed. You’ll take your sheet home along with a guide on how to finish drying and pressing it properly.
     
  • Sit down in the greenhouse and colour beautiful illustrations of plants, birds and butterflies.
     
  • You can also explore the garden with our hand-outs on birds, butterflies, trees and herbs.

Drop by, get your hands dirty, and discover more about botany, birds, and butterflies!

About the Botanical Garden – a living museum

The Botanical Garden is a green haven in the heart of Copenhagen, inviting you to immerse yourself in the world of nature. The Botanical Garden was laid out in 1874 according to a garden plan by landscape gardener H.A. Flindt. It was then renovated in 2012 by landscape architect Jens Hendeliowitz, who, among other things, is known for the restoration of the palace gardens at Fredensborg and Frederiksborg as well as the King’s Garden in Copenhagen.

This historic garden is part of the Natural History Museum Denmark and stands out from other parks in the city by serving as a living museum with research, dissemination, teaching and nature conservation as its main objectives.
